Introduction: We have been in business for 25 years. This is what we do full-time. Most of the team of sitters have been with Society Pet Sitter, Inc. from 1-12 years. We run thorough background checks on every sitter and interview each one before they are hired. We are bonded and insured as well.
In this profession, you have to have a passion for animals. I personally have had that all of my life. Now in my career, what I love the most is knowing that we are helping out each pet owner in his/her daily life. We have several doctors who we pet sit for. When they are called in to do a heart transplant at 3:00 a.m. and send a text asking for us to do a breakfast visit for their pets, we are able to jump in and ensure their babies are taken care of. It's more than just a job; it feels like we're giving back.

Same day service! Wow!! Kind, caring professional service with fair rates and options for other services. My big dog is smitten with his new walking friend and my little chihuahua who is usually quite reserved insisted on being held...by a stranger! Thank you Tiffany and Alisha. You've made an entire family very happy and we all look forward to an awesome relationship :)

The pet sitters will start tomorrow. The timing and efficiency was great. The sitters I interviewed seemed experienced and very interested in my dogs. So far the service has been off the charts. Very pleased. I'm expecting it to be a great match!

I needed a dog walker ASAP after moving and my dog was having a hard times adjusting. Michelle's visits mid day visits and company have been a life saver!!!

Society Pet Sitter is very professional and detailed in setting up a new client.
Through our exchange on Thumbtack, they contacted me to set up a first meet and greet to get to know the dogs and for me to get to know them. They also sent me a detailed contract which outlines all the important things that's included when they come and visit my dogs. I was IMPRESSED and felt like my pups would be in professional and safe hands.
Hal was my designated sitter. He wrote down every detail about my pups and made sure to text me very detail updates when he visit them. I left training pads in my apartment just in case the pups were stressed that I wasn't home, didn't ask him to clean it up but he did!
I'm so relieved that I found Society Pet Sitter and will be using them again and again for when I'm out of town!

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We set up an initial meet and greet so that the client can meet their sitters and show them their pet's routine. We assign a primary and a back-up sitter, just in case the primary is out for any reason, the client has already met the back-up and can step right in to take care of their fur babies.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

When I first started this business there were only 3 pet sitting companies in Dallas. No one had even heard of pet sitting. I was working at a local veterinarian as a tech. Some of the dogs and cats did okay in the kennel situation. Most did not. The most that did not really should have been at home.

What types of customers have you worked with?

What we do the most of are daily dog walks, as well as vacation clients. We work with all kinds of professionals that work long hours and can't make it home to take the dog out for a potty break and some exercise.
